MPW5 submitted!
We submitted for MPW5!
We had 8 submissions from the course, the shared SRAM infrastructure, and I updated my demo designs.
We also had some people from the course make personal applications for a whole chip:
- Steve & Zhenle - PSRAM (HyperRAM) interface with an ACORN PRNG,
- Q3K - simple, microcontroller-style SoC based around a Lanai core,
- Maximo - Hardware implementation of the Hack Computer from the Nand to Tetris courses,
- Zbigniew - A rendering circuit for three blobs and a playable tetris clone.
And thanks to Paweł for updating the shared SRAM blocks.
Following Maximo’s work on cool GDS renderings, Proppy has made a few of his hsv2rgb converter project:
Here’s the github repo for the group submission and the Efabless project.
To see how I put the application together check the multi_project_tools.
And here’s a list of the projects - congratulations everyone!
